Is her name a pun? "Jelly or jam". I'm not sure if Baum went in for punning names, but this strikes me as too neat to be unintentional. Daibhid C (talk) 01:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a young child at school (near Newcastle, England) there was a trick question: "Jelly or jam?" If you answered "Jelly" you got a "punch in the belly" and if you answered "jam" the response was "wham!" with the same punch. Now, Jellia is something of a trickster, from her role in the Marvellous Land. Maybe this trick Q&A was also known in the USA. Moremoth (talk) 23:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
